We love learning new signs and showing them to him. We know one day he will pick it up in his own time. It has helped us as parents learn as well. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We attend LMNOP, Family Speaker classes, Yoga, and Story Telling. Brighton loves doing story time and LMNOP with his baby brother and we all get the opportunity to learn with each other thanks to GiGi\u2019s Virtual Playhouse. Our favorite moment was during the LMNOP program where the theme was \u201cA Snowy Day\u201d where we all made edible snow! We hold all our moments with GiGi&#8217;s playhouse near and dear to our family&#8217;s heart. Brighton has grown to love drawing and painting, which previously he didn\u2019t have any interest in.\u00a0We couldn\u2019t be prouder of him, and we love the artistic interest he has now!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GiGi\u2019s has helped our family in many ways and the volunteers are amazing people! We are so grateful they take the time to help families like us.
